Is there a natural alternative option for high blood pressure? |
Iam a cronical patient with high blood pressure, not over waith and Iam getting sick of being dependent of my every day medication.Looking for options yes ayurveda has the answer One traditional herbal remedy that's been proven by science is eating celery. It apparently has a blood pressure lowering effect that isn't clearly understood. yes, practice doing yogasane, pranayam .. Scientific study has shown that yoga is useful for high BP patients..other than that is 1. balance diet. 2.good rest/sleep. 3.optimistic attitude for life. 4.spirituality. google video for yoga : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=... 1. Shake the salt habit even though there is not conclusive evidence of the link between sodium and high blood pressure. Studies are still ongoing, believe it or not. 2. Cut down on alcohol. 3. Consume more potassium and calcium (such as dairy) in your diet. 4. Increase your exercise level but avoid isometrics like weight-lifting. 5. Try aerobic exercise instead, such as walking a quarter of a mile briskly to start. Swimming and bike riding are also good. 6. Think vegetarian when choosing your foods. 7. Take your own blood pressure readings at home. This way you track your own condition--it can help make you more aware of how diet, exercise, and medication are affecting your BP. It may also help you overcome the "white coat" reaction many people experience. The minute they walk in a doctor's office, they tense up and their pressure rises dramatically. 8. Check your spouse's pressure, too. Surprisingly, the longer two people are married, the more similar their BP becomes. This is largely due to the same environmental factors, such as diet and stress within the household, but also a break-down in communication and overt signs of loving affection. 9. Be a happy person. That's easier said then done. 10. Try talking less. Yes, even deaf people who sign are known to have elevated BP upon "talking". P.S. -- Hypertension (high blood pressure) is not solely due to heredity as someone else here has stated. Heredity is a predisposing factor. Other conditions such as obesity, endocrine tumors, and diabetes or other renal diseases can cause high blood pressure. Too, studies have shown that garlic may lower BP but not significantly. Another supplement to your diet that just might help--some people swear by it--is a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar each day. There are all sorts of things you can do. For starters, avoid meat and dairy. Eat lots of raw or lightly cooked vegetables and whole grains. Salads with tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil are particularly good for you. Exercise as much as you can. It doesn't have to be a huge workout, just walking for 20 minutes a day is fine. It just has to be regular. Keep your weight down. Take pycnogenol and policosanol (over the counter herbal supplements) They will help your circulation.
